H
This letter is now silent in Bali, except at the end of a syllable; in earlier days it was pronounced in many words, as can be seen in the Mal forms of some words common to Mal and Bali. This pronounced h occurred at the beginning of the suffixes -a, -an, -ang, -é, -in, and the Jav preposition hing, as also in enclitic pronouns like hidä, hipun, hiya; the h is still written in the Bali script when the suffixes -an, -ang, -in, (rarely -a) are added to bases ending in a vowel, though it is ignored in Roman script. The effect of this h is also seen in the sporadically occurring doubling of a final consonant before -an, -é, and hing: candakkan, paméyossan, ceningngé, nangnging (nanghing), manywaknywakkiyā. When these suffixes are added to bases ending in h, it is usual to write h only once, though it may be doubled; one therefore has to know the word in order to decide whether the written h is silent or the fricative. The initial h is usually dropped in the second form of a reduplicated word (e.g. hamahamahan, hadepadepan), though it is frequently written. Similarly, enclitic pronouns like hida, hipun, hiya are often written without h. The loss of h in pronunciation led to the writing of all initial vowels with h, even in K or S words which began with an initial vowel (e.g. the S prefix meaning ‘not’); only in names are the old initial vowel-signs (aksara wayah) used, mostly by the learned.
ha- 1 a prefix, often written he-, used freely before nouns of verbs whose base has only one syllable, e.g. hebah (bah), hadot (dot); the transitive forms of verbs with a monosyllabic base always have this prefix, nasalized to nga-, nge-.
ha- 2 K a verbal prefix surviving in literary Bali, put before S-forms and N-forms without influencing the meaning; ha- also means ‘and.’
ha- 3 (in K and S words) the S prefix a- which negates the word, e.g. hakroda ‘not-anger.’
ha- 4 num one; it is prefixed to words of size or amount, and to classifiers, e.g. ha-bagi one half, one part; ha-besik one; ha-bulan one month; ha-cepok once; hadasa decade (1x10); ha-diri one person; ha-laksa 1x10,000; ha-lembar one sheet (of letter-paper); ha-ringgit one dollar; ha-tenga one half; ha-méter one metre; ha-wahi one day.
